Happy Monday!

I hope you are doing well and are taking care of yourself.

There's one more work week before Christmas --

and I am most certainly ready for a break.

;-)

Who is invited to a work party or some sort of potluck gathering this week?

Need a super fun and tasty treat to bring along?

MAKE FONDUE! Super fun, it's easy, and it doesn't need to be overly processed or chemical-y.

Have you ever seen the fondue kits they sell in the grocery store? Now flip the packaging over and read the ingredients....

hmm. There's a lot of stuff in there that's not all that pronounceable!! I am not a purist or a food snob in any way --- I'm happy with melting Velveeta down and mixing it with a can of Rotel! :-)

BUT. Sometimes you want something a bit more sophisticated. And that's a-okay. Here is a From Scratch recipe for CrockPot Fondue.

AND? You can use a super cute Little Dippe r which really just makes everything taste better.
:-)

anyways...

How to Make Homemade From Scratch Cheese Fondue

The Ingredients.
serves 4 to 6

3/4 cup TOTAL of "fancy cheese"
--> I used 1/4 cup goat, 1/4 cup gruyere, and 1/4 cup swiss <--
1/4 cup white wine
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

The Directions.

Shred the hard cheese and put them in the Little Dipper.
Add the goat cheese.
Pour in the white wine and sprinkle the nutmeg on top.

No need to stir---it will melt together.

Plug in the Little Dipper. Cook for 45 minutes, then stir.

Cover again and heat until cheese is melted and bubbly.

Serve with bread, croutons, crackers, or your favorite dipping vegetables.

I made large croutons out of a loaf brown rice bread since we are gluten free.

All I did was brush olive oil on both sides, and sprinkle with Kosher salt and pepper.

Then bake at 400 until golden, flipping once.

HEY STEPH: I don't like gruyere!!

Then use something you DO like.

:-)

The Verdict.

Very tasty.

PS: mix up the cheeses however you'd like --- sharp cheddar, brie, pepper jack --

what's great about this particular recipe is that it will melt nicely and still be thick without needing to add flour.

This keeps this fondue keto and low carb friendly, along with being naturally gluten free.

The white wine provides a bit of a "bite" -- but if you do not want to add alcohol, use apple cider instead.

have something else in mind?

How about Little Smokies?

or Peanut Clusters?

enjoy!!

happy slow cooking!! steph
